Spectrum Fine Art is pleased to announce the representation of Lisa Onstad. Lisa is an abstract painter based in the Pacific Northwest whose work explores our shifting connections to self and place. She balances intention and chance, structure and spontaneity—always seeking surprise in the outcome. Drawn to  vibrant, visual stimuli, Lisa’s work evokes unexpected colors, bold patterns, and rich textures, often using familiar patterns of checks, plaids, and stripes to bring order to her experiences. This comforting repetition of pattern and color allows her to fully embody those moments. Lisa studied art at Lewis & Clark College, the San Francisco Art Institute and the Oregon College of Art and Craft. Her work is held in both public and private collections in the U.S. and abroad.
